Hopefully the "op up" god will be fully operational and running on schedule next week

Gate agent pages, "Hoyateach, please approach the podium and indentify yourself to an agent"

Hoyateach approaches the podium and answers the page.

Gate agent will say, "Hoyateach, we need your seat and I think I could get you something better, could I have your boarding pass and passport please?"

Hoyateach gives gate agent boarding pass for seat 67-F which was provided at check-in because some check-in agent gave away the good Y seat that was reserved to put a family together.

Gate agent tears up boarding pass; Hoyateach figures the new boarding pass can't be any worse than a middle seat in the last row. Gate agent apologizes for the inconvienience, prints new boarding pass and stamp it D/A OK. Agent then returns passport. While this is happening, a rude passenger keeps interrupting asking the GA for a better seat because he is Platinum and paid lots of money for his economy ticket.

Gate agent then puts new boarding pass into ticket jacket, and gives it to Hoyateach. Gate agent says "The only thing I have is an aisle seat, but it's a better seat."

Hoyateach will then look at new boarding pass and see seat 77-B. The rude passenger standing next to Hoyateach at the podium demanding a good seat is given a new boarding pass, 67-F.

What do you think? It could happen.
